Question

Mihir and his friend Chris have a combined weight of 150 kg. Mihir weighs 84 kg less than

twice his friend's weight. How much does each of them weigh? Am 6 th grade. Can you please answer me. It is from the topic algebra. May I know the weight of both Chris and mihir with the formula​

Answer 1

Answer:

Let his Chris weight be x

Sum of weight of Mihir and Chris = 150 kg

ATQ.

(2x - 84 ) + x = 150

3x = 150+84

3x = 234

x = 234/3

x = 78 kg

 Therefore , Weight of Mihir = 150 - 78 = 72kg

Weight of Chris = 78 kg
